BRONX ZOO
8. what i saw was distress
the bronx zoo calls itself the 'wildlife conservation society,' what i saw was the work of a rich and unethical director, controller of the dumb volunteers that didn't seem to know any better, and a zoo keeper that whistled louder than the birds, what i saw was a single polar bear clearly disturbed, pacing, swaying, throwing its back legs out, like it walked with a thorn in its heart, i saw two porcupines, one lying still like an old rock painting, the other pacing, trying to walk into an environment that wasn't there, then battering its body against the wall, in the 'worlds of darkness' an egyptian fruitbat's wings pierced several fake branches, as it made another attempt to launch itself into orbit, it fell from the air like a kite and scrambled |
